Pls WALK, baby

The title explains it all.... am trying to encourage Ian to walk, but think he is too scared of falling down to try to walk unassisted.... *sigh*

He can stand on his own without any support, but he simply won't take his first steps..... *sigh* *sigh* *sigh*

On the work front, 3 more working days to go and I am home free till 06/08.... then it is back to work, work, work, work.....

Countdown to my LAST DAYS

The title sounds so MORBID.... as if I am leaving this earth.... :-P

Actually, I have tender my resignation & my last day here is 05/08/2007.... However, as I will be on leave from 01-03 Aug and 04 & 05 Aug 07 are the weekends.... my last day is technically 31/07/2007..... Just 20 more days to go.....

How do I feel about leaving?.... large doses of sadness.... Stay here been pretty fruitful.... get my promotion in 2006 (at LONG last).... my immediate boss is nice, even though a bit scatterbrain & no sense of urgency..... colleagues have been nice.... minimal politicking....

Most probably, the question on everyone's mind is "WHY IN THE HELL IS SHE LEAVING?".... There are moments when I ask tat exact question myself..... But I think the reason for leaving is mainly a change of job scope and environment.... I have been doing the same work for almost 5 years and I think a change will be good for me..... Furthermore, there is no way I can get another promotion till 5 years later (minimum).....

I do hope I am making the right choice.... my new job will be more interesting.... at least something different for me.... and I guess I hope after this stint, I will be able to do some lecturing or move up the career ladder......

Baby can CHOOSE

Ian knows his flashcard very well. He is able to pick the right pictures about 80% - 90% of the time.... not bad for a 14 months old baby..... He knows the sound of a snake as well..... super cute when he says SSSSSSSSSSSSSS..... and he can recognise all sort of snakes... at least those in his flashcards.... :-P
